Is there any manufacturer that makes 1:35 T-60? Is it decent?

Yes! RPM makes a very good T-60 and one version comes with a huge PE fret included that totally dresses out the kit. It also has indy tracks. I think it may be OOP but if you find one, get one.

There are two T-60 kits out there. The Zvezda kit is one of the truly awful products from the dawn of Russia's modeling industry, and is suitable only as target practice for a kid's B-B Gun.
The other kit turns up in Maquette or RPM boxes, and is decent, but not spectacular. It is nothing near as nice as Miniart's newer T-70 and T-80 light tank kits. As mentioned, some boxings also throw in photoetch parts or vacuformed styrene applique armor for the turret.

alright thanks. Im not normally a big fan of Russian anything, but the t-60 was one of those tanks that i used to fantisize about a kid- no heavy gun, just a large calliber rifle like gun. Ill check ebay and google, let you know how it turns up.
